Poe Some Sugar On Me
Let’s face it, back in his day, the guy was a rock star.
Hendrix served in the Army. Bob Dylan was invited to West Point. Jim Morrison wrote his poems for the public and Jerry Lee Lewis married his cousin. But only Edgar Allan Poe did all these things, and more! He was often drunk, he was court-martialed, he might have died of rabies and for years, on his birthday, a strange, shrouded figure appeared at his grave to leave flowers and cognac.
If he was some twenty-something kid who played guitar, the whole world would be talking about how he changed the universe. He’d be painted on vans, on black velvet, he’d be sketched in high school art fairs and quoted online. Instead, he’s just “that guy who wrote The Raven” and often dismissed as a minor niche writer.
At the gateway of death stands a dark man with wild eyes. He carries his book. Behold the power issued forth from his hand.
Wear this shirt: to your book club. Teach those Franzen fangirls what real writing is about.
Don’t wear this shirt: if you think hard livin’ was just invented last year. Study up, buttercup, artists have always been edgy people.
This shirt tells the world: “Bring it on, Nathan Hawthorne.”
We call this color: The Sad King Of American Letters, His Emotions Are Royal Blue
